Fecral alloy wire mesh is also named as FeCrAl wire mesh and well known by the public for its patented name Kanthal® wire mesh which is basically an Iron-Chromium-Aluminum based alloy that contains a tiny amount of reactive elements such as yttrium and zirconium. The wires and mesh products made of this alloy are widely used in the industrial heating fields as resistance material.
Alchrome or FeCrAl alloys are created by altering the ratio of chromium to aluminum. They have outstanding anti-oxidation, anti-sulfur, and anti-cementite characteristics. In addition, they feature a low density, a high surface load, a high electric resistivity, a high application temperature, a long service life, and an affordable price.
These heating components are utilized in a variety of metal processing applications, including melting and holding.
The service temperature of iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys is higher than that of nickel-chromium alloys. FeCrAl is an affordable material for furnace applications due to its reduced cost and longer service life.
FeCrAl heating elements have a significantly longer service life than Nichrome heating elements. They are regarded as the most suitable heating elements, as they offer high power, a long service life, a lightweight, and may be simply adapted to current power controllers and supplies. They are highly reliable and require no routine maintenance.
The elements will operate at a higher power output than a typical radiation element design. They can also operate at voltages below the supply voltage. They are resistant to aging under varied situations; hence, a variable voltage supply is unnecessary.
The oxide created during heating is non-flaking, thus neither scaling nor impurities interact with the heating element, ensuring that the materials in the furnace work well. Excellent form stability at elevated temperatures.
